metmom, you know I love you. The Mormon Church does represent a “nice religion”. The Jeff’s people are wackos and NOT affiliated with the LDS.

"Jeff's people"--fLDS use the same "Scripture" LDS now deny--to justify polygamy--D&C 132. "Jeff's people"--fLDS folk--are in fact descendents of LDS folk.

"Jeff's people"--fLDS--claim to be LDS just like LDS people claim to be LDS. "Jeff's people"--Mormons--claim to be Mormons just like Mormons claim to be Mormons.

As we have seen on dozens of FReeper threads & thousands of media articles & other online discussion boards & chat rooms, Mormons constantly tell Christians, "Who are you to say who's a 'Christian' or not? We're 'Christians,' too?" So would you mind informing all of us how it is that LDS can tell Christians, "Hey, no bumping us out of bounds" but now LDS can tell fLDS "Hey, we're bumping you out as Mormons?" (Isn't that a wee bit inconsistent?)

...not affiliated with the LDS.

The fLDS are also the spiritual descendents of LDS. They were once "one." At best, affiliation-wise, Joseph Smith once (1827) tried to join a Methodist church membership class. (About 7 years after his so-called "vision" of unnamed personages telling him to join NO church). He at one time tried to be "one" with the Christians. My point? The fLDS are more "Mormon" than Smith is "Christian."

“Colofornian’s people”-—are in fact descendent's of Neanderthal folk. I see that some have evolved further than others.

No it isn't inconsistent. Perhaps it's because Polygamy became illegal and the Mormons didn't want to be affiliated with criminals. Think about it. FYI: Mormons are Christians.

Why do you hate Mormons so much? Did some cute Mormon girl turn you down in High School or what? Perhaps she wanted to date within her own species, you know, her own ‘descendent's’. Do you know any LDS folks?

What you are saying makes no sense whatsoever.
